this goal by providing organizing and technical assistance to
local organizations; facilitating issue networks and meetings to
link groups to affect national policy and support each other;
researching the military's impact on the environment; and
conducting activities to build a multi-racial movement. These
endeavors will result in more effective local leaders and groups
and coordinated campaigns which lead to national policy actions
that hold the military accountable, promote safe disposal methods,
increase public knowledge and participation, and prevent pollution
from military sources.

The national organizer will provide community education, technical
and organizing assistance, outreach, and training to grassroots
community groups, veteran groups, labor groups, and other

and military (retired and active) personnel.
